How is gynecomastia treated in men?

Patient's question:

Right breast enlargement, diagnosed as mammary hyperplasia through color Doppler ultrasound. Over 10 years.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Breast hyperplasia can generally be divided into two major categories: primary and secondary. Primary cases are more common in adolescent boys and elderly men, primarily caused by transient elevation of endogenous estrogen or a decrease in androgen levels, and often resolve on their own. Secondary cases are commonly associated with liver diseases, testicular diseases, adrenal gland disorders, thyroid diseases, diabetes, or tumors in the urinary-genital or nervous systems. Long-term use of estrogen in prostate diseases, or prolonged medication use for other conditions, can also lead to it. For your situation, it is recommended to identify the underlying cause and receive symptomatic treatment.
Suggestions: A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be effective. Maintain a regular lifestyle, and avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
